ingredients
2 pounds asparagus
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups homemade chicken stock
2 cups fresh morels
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Prepare asparagus for steaming, snapping tough ends and peeling the stalk. Steam until tender. Pour cold water over after done. Cut 16 tips and reserve for later use. Chop the remaining asparagus.
In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Slowly add the stock. Stir with a whisk until it comes to a boil. Add the copped asparagus and morels, reserving 8 of the smallest morels. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Transfer the asparagus and morels to a food processor and puree with 1 cup of the stock. Blend in remaining stock. Pass the soup through a sieve to remove any fibers.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and 1/4 cup of the cream. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add the reserved 8 morels and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the reserved asparagus tips and simmer for 2 minutes.
To serve hot bring the soup over low heat and whisk the remaining 3/4 cup cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add the reserved morels and asparagus tips in their cream. Garnish each bowl with 1 morel and 2 tips.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
